Lesson from our Session…………………………..
(Genesis 15:7) Then God said to him, “I am the LORD who brought you from Ur of the Chaldeans, to give you this land to possess.”
Abram expressed his belief in God when he moved from Ur (an area in Mesopotamia, an area in what is now known as Iraq) to the Promised Land.
After he arrived, the LORD came to Abram again and identified himself as the God who had called Abram to move to the land of Canaan; the God that Abram had believed and obeyed when he had moved according to God’s command. In the Promised Land, the LORD came again to Abram in order to reaffirm His promise that Abram and his descendants would possess the land He promised him.
Reference is made to this in Genesis 12 as well. Hundreds of years later when Moses proclaimed God’s message, a similar statement is included at the giving of the Ten Commandments (Exodus 20:2; see also 13:3-5).
Lesson: God clearly reveals Himself and His plan to those who trust in Him (Gen. 15:7)
Reflection: We hesitate at this promise because we have sought the will of God before and found ourselves still wandering. Our struggle lies not with God’s provision but our inability to see or accept the answers that are being given.
